HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\InstalledInstances.
Alternately, you could write some code to query the SQL Browser service
(which listens on UDP 1434). I don't know for sure but I suspect that
service just reads the above registry value to get the list of installed
SQL instances on the box (plus others to get TCP ports they're listening
on).
